If you’ve been looking for an excuse to cancel your Sunday scaries, a trip to Emilia-Romagna (by way of the Warehouse District) is a pretty solid one. While the rest of the city recovers from parade + partying on Saturday, Figulina is turning its kitchen into a love letter to Northern Italy. On Sunday, March 15, 2026, the restaurant is ditching its usual brunch service for a one-night-only a la carte dinner highlighting the soul-warming dishes of the Emilia-Romagna region. Think of it as the ultimate comfort food send-off before the new work week begins.
The menu is a curated journey through Italy’s “Food Valley,” featuring heavy hitters like Tagliatelle Bolognese, Tortellini en Brodo, and the crowd-favorite Gnocco Fritto. If you’re feeling festive, start with the meat-and-cheese aperitivo platter and ask about the wine pairings designed to highlight the region’s Lambruscos and Sangiovese. It’s an intimate, focused dinner that trades the typical Raleigh Sunday for a seat at an Italian family table.
📍 Figulina | 317 S. Harrington St., Raleigh, NC 27603
📅 Sunday, Mar. 15, 2026 | 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Pro tip: Don’t skip the Zuppa Inglese for dessert. It’s the kind of sweet ending that makes Monday morning feel significantly further away.
